Description

Letter from Isaac Goldstein in New York City to Reverend Dr. Isaac Leeser in Philadelphia, dated June 1, 1864. Goldstein encloses a page of his Hebrew manuscript, *Ma'aseh taluy*, and requests Leeser to translate the approximately fifty pages into English for publication, with Hebrew on one side and English on the other.
